Betsy ZoBell, Housing & Community Development
Supervisor, presented the staff report recommending the Agency adopt the
Five-Year Implementation Plan for the Mission Street- Junipero Serra Boulevard
Commercial Business District Redevelopment Project in accordance with the
requirements of the California Community Redevelopment Law.

She noted the Plan outlines the Agency’s goals and objectives
and provides a blueprint for the 2006-2010 five-year period. The draft Plan
outlines proposed activities and estimated Agency expenditures over the next
five years. Specific funding to activities has been and will subject to the
Agency’s budget process. The Agency’s Mission Street Committee helped identify
projects and activities that are consistent with redevelopment goals.

In January a community meeting was held to discuss the
Implementation Plan update and extensive discussion took place on issues
relating to commercial development, affordable housing, neighborhood quality
and traffic. Staff also met with Mission
Street businesses in May. Attempts to facilitate a
visioning session with community members and businesses were unsuccessful
because assistance from an outside consultant could not be provided until fall
2007. As a result the overall visioning effort for Mission Street will be undertaken as
apart of the General Plan update.

Notice of public hearing was advertised three times in
the Peninsula Examiner as well as through postings throughout the project area.
The draft Fie through postings throughout the project area. The draft Five Year
Plan was available for public review since June 13 ay City Hall; at City
libraries; and the City’s website. In addition, notice of property owners and
businesses who have expressed an interest in Mission Street redevelopment activities.

Ms. Zobell noted that one piece of written
correspondence commenting on the plan had been received. That letter, from the
Original Daly City Protective Association, was provided to the Agency Board.

Board member Christensen asked about he difference in
the numbering of objectives in the Plan and staff report. Ms. Zobell provided
an explanation that the objectives were the same, but an error in numbering had
left objective 14 unnumbered.

Chair Gomez opened the hearing for public comment.

Dan Smith, resident, expressed her belief that the
proposed five year estimate of program expenditures of $9 million for economic
development is too high.

Annette Hipona, Original Daly City Protective
Association, spoke from the written correspondence, noted by Ms. Zobell and
previously provided that group. Ms. Hipona noted the objections from the
Original Daly City Protective Association.

Jim Strasser, 16 Brooklawn Avenue, stated his support
for constructing a hotel in the Pacific
Plaza project.

Marion Mann, resident, expressed her support for the
proposed Five-Year Plan and her appreciation for the work of the Agency Board
and staff.

Having read the proposed Plan, Agency Board members
expressed their feelings on the draft document and on comments offered in the
public hearing.

It was moved Director Torres, seconded by Vice-Chair
Klatt and the motion carried to close the public hearing.

It was moved by Vice-Chair Klatt, and seconded by
Director Torres to adopt the following resolution:

RA07-016

A Resolution
of the Daly City Redevelopment Agency Adopting the Five-Year Implementation
Plan (2006-2010) for the Mission Street-Junipero Serra Boulevard Commercial
Business District Redevelopment Project Area

It was moved Director Christensen to amend the draft
Five-Year Plan Specific Objective 1 from “Create a strong marketing program to attract
new business and generate revenue while avoiding the wholesale displacement of
existing businesses and gentrification” to “Create a strong marketing program
to attract new businesses and generate revenue while avoiding the displacement
of existing businesses and gentrification by the use of eminent domain.” The
motion died for lack of a second.

It was moved Director Christensen to amend the draft
plan Specific Objective 3 by adding a sixth bullet point that states: “Zoning
considerations should include: • An absolute building height maximum of 60
feet, including Planned Developments, for all parcels that share a common
property line with a residential lot or for any part of a parcel that is within
100 feet of any residential property line.”

Agency Attorney Rose Zimmerman suggested all three
amendments to be proposed by Director Christensen be considered in one motion.
Director Christensen agreed and moved to make three amendments to the Plan. The
third amendment would add an additional Objective stating “Specific Objective
#15. The Redevelopment Agency will not expand project boundaries into
residential areas.” The motion died for the lack of a second.

Chair Gomez called for a roll call vote on the motion
to adopt resolution RA07-016, and the motion carried by a 4-1 vote with
Director Christensen voting no.
